Welcome to Minerva Webworks

Minerva Webworks LLC was founded by Lisa Shea in 2005 in order to develop websites and publish books with a charitable purpose. Each website in the Minerva Webworks community is designed to help visitors achieve health, happiness, and harmony. The ad presence on these sites is deliberately kept to a minimum, solely ensuring the sites pay their own hosting fees and can remain self sufficient. Lisa explicitly avoids pop-up, pop-under, interstitial, and other annoying ads. The primary purpose of these websites is to help people - not to make money.

The Name

About Minerva

Minerva was the goddess of wisdom and reason in the Roman Empire. She was the patron for learning, the arts, science, poetry, and literature. Minerva was also hailed as the defender of the weak and poor.

In the Greek culture she was known as Athena, goddess of justice, and the city of Athens was dedicated to her.

Lisa Shea

Minerva Webworks owner Lisa Shea has been working with networked computers since her childhood in the '70s. She was fortunate enough to grow up in a household which had thermal-paper terminals. At Worcester Polytech she had access to the early workings of the internet, and then working at biotechs she was involved with FTP, Telnet, and the first websites with the research scientists.

Lisa enjoys staying in tune with the latest changes, whatever our wonderful world of technology has to offer!
